I couldn't wait to get started. I suspect there will be a lot of low numbers on this one.

9. Not at all. You're just fine.

[William Seger]

10. It always takes some luck to get a 3

... either in starter words that coincidentally eliminate all but 1 choice, or more often, picking the right word from multiple choices. WordleBot said I had 3 possibilities when I just randomly chose the right one, so I could have ended up with a 4 or 5.

Consistent 4s means you're playing the game pretty well, I think.

19. Wrdl 486: 3/6; WrdHrdl 546: 3/6; WrdHrdl 547: 3/6

Wordle 486 3/6 (Numbers via Scoredle.)

I noticed there's not agreement between Scoredle and Wordlebot. I bet Scoredle does not use the official Wordle list. Probably just lists all possible words, regardless whether Wordle will accept.

14,855 possibilities

🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 slate (155 choices left) (WrdlBot sez 59.)
